| Application icons no longer used in SWT client [message #1681117] |

In our SWT client product file, we define application icons
<windowImages i16="/ch.sbb.cisi.angebot.scout.client.ui.swt/resources/icons/Ora16.png" i32="/ch.sbb.cisi.angebot.scout.client.ui.swt/resources/icons/Ora32.png" i48="/ch.sbb.cisi.angebot.scout.client.ui.swt/resources/icons/Ora48.png" i64="/ch.sbb.cisi.angebot.scout.client.ui.swt/resources/icons/Ora64.png" i128="/ch.sbb.cisi.angebot.scout.client.ui.swt/resources/icons/Ora128.png"/>
We also have the corresponding PNG files in the resource/icons directory of the swt project.
Up until a few days ago this lead to these icons being used in the following places:
- Taskbar
- Alt-Tab preview
- Top left corner of main window and login window
Since a few days, these icons are no longer shown. I am not totally sure (as I didn't notice right away) but I suspect that this coincides with our switch from Scout Luna SR1 to SR2.
Has something changed in this regard with SR2?
What would you propose to debug this?

I've been able to fix the problem by doing a "synchronise" and "launch" on the SWT client product. After this, the icons were back. I noticed that this caused the following information to be written into the SWT client's plugin.xml under the org.eclipse.core.runtime.products extension point:
<property
name="windowImages"
value="resources/icons/Ora16.png,resources/icons/Ora32.png,resources/icons/Ora48.png,resources/icons/Ora64.png,resources/icons/Ora128.png">
</property>
<property
name="startupForegroundColor"
value="FF8080">
</property>
<property
name="startupMessageRect"
value="15,275,280,20">
</property>
<property
name="startupProgressRect"
value="15,300,280,10">
</property>
This information (which comes form the product file) didn't used to be written to the plugin.xml but now it is. I guess this is a change in Eclipse itself, which was introduced with SR2 (and our update to Scout Luna SR2 of course included the update of Eclipse to Luna SR2).

@Urs:
Nice catch! Thank you for sharing. During my test yesterday, I did not notice this addition in the plugin.xml, but I observe this too (I had probably synchronized without noticing).
@Peter:
I have read your question and will try to answer it; probably in a separated thread, because your question isn't really related to this thread.
